Recipes of healthy cookies for kids? Here you find two different ones. And they are not very hard to make either.

Choose the flavor that you like best (chocolate and banana or cinnamon), and start baking :)

And the best part is that this is not only a "flavored" wheat flour and sugar mix you will be serving you kids, it's good ingredients that are all healthy in their own way.

And no wheat. eggs, milk or refined sugar at all!

Also, at the bottom of the page you can submit your own too. Can't wait to see some of your creations!

Or do you prefer store bought?

If you are not someone who would spend an hour in the kitchen, maybe you
prefer to find a brand of cookies that is acceptable to buy for your
children. I sometimes do buy cookies for Benji and then I always make
sure they are vegan.

And there are some very nice lemon and ginger gluten free cookies in one of the organic stores close to where we live. But the thing is that even though they taste good and might be a tiny bit better option than just any cookies baked with conventionally grown grains, they are still loaded with (organic) sugar.

In my opinion it would be better to choose some healthier snack, like date and nut bars or organic fruit roll ups. There is one bar (can't remember the brand) that is made of dates, apples and cinnamon that tastes so good, like apple pie.

I also know that are some you can buy online that are a little healthier than something you could get in the supermarkets.

Alright, for those of you who want to bake, let's get started!

Hope you will love the healthy cookies for kids I have for you here.

The chocolate once you find here are still way more healthy than anything you
would buy at the store, and very low in sugar, but because of the chocolate that is in them, they are still more
like a treat than an anytime snack :) They could be used as a dessert, how about that?

But - if you like you could exchange the chocolate for raisins! And then it's a different story! You could even include some in your child's school lunch.

Because of all the recipe requests I got on facebook, I had to make these cookies one more time this morning, just to make sure I wrote down the steps correctly and that I had listed all the ingredients.

Because most of the time when I bake, I just put together some nice,
healthy, amazing tasting ingredients without thinking too much about
the proportions.

I want a dough with a good consistency that will
hold together in the oven and taste great once the cookies are done.

Anyway, the cookies are done now. My house smells good and my son will
be happy when he wakes up!

Put
the almonds, chia seeds, almond flour, baking soda, vanilla, pinch of
salt and cinnamon in a bowl and stir. Add xylitol to this if using. If
you use the maple syrup instead, add that to the melted coconut oil. Add
half a mushed banana to the coconut oil.

Add dates and the apple pieces to the melted coconut mix and use a stick mixer to mix together into a paste.

Combine this with the dry ingredients.

Warm up the oven to 175 C / 350 F.

Make round cookies out of the dough and place them on a tray.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until they look (and taste) ready!

You
might be wondering why I sometimes use the sweetener xylitol? It is a
natural sweetener from birch trees that also happens to be
tooth-friendly. We use it a lot in Finland.

Thanks for visiting the healthy cookies for kids page, love you all and hope you will be busy baking tonight!
